Hello all, I thought I would make a post showing you a car I just got dont plastidipping. The car is a 2000 VW Beetle TDI, its the car I drive around for work. My company bought this car because I'm on the road a lot and its cheap to drive, however the outside of the car was in really bad shape. I suggested that we plastidip it since its a cheap way to refresh the outside of the car. Here are some pictures of the process
A few shots of the car before:

The car starting to get coated in black

Then we started to mix and add the brown flake

First coat

Second Coat

And the car pretty much finished.

We are pretty happy with the outcome, it looks a whole lot better then it did. It pretty much covered the old decals the previous owner had, you can only see a faint raised outline from the old decals. If I was to do it again I would use an extra gallon of black to cover the car a bit more, there are a few spots that you can see a little bit of green under from the black being a bit thin. Thanks Ken for helping me out to get everything that we needed for the project
